Beijing, August 14 /Xinhua/ — Chen Xi, official spokesperson for the Ministry of Defense of the PRC, stated on Friday that the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) administration of Taiwan is creating and spreading panic about a potential war.
In response to recent annual military exercises on the island, Chen Xi stated that the so-called “Hangguan” exercises have always been nothing more than a show that requires huge expenditures of money and exhausts the people. During the exercises, temporary disruptions in mobile internet service were noted in some parts of the island.
Chen Xi warned that any attempt by the DPP administration to pursue its “Taiwan independence” agenda will never succeed, and that the People’s Liberation Army of China, which is continuously strengthening its combat capabilities, will always be ready to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as to maintain peace and stability on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
